Medical Startup Selling Prescription Kit for Nuclear Disaster

Telehealth startup Amble Health sells a $345 prescription kit with iodine tablets and Prussian blue marketed for nuclear disaster survival.

Amble Health's 'Oh Sh*T Kit' bundles potassium iodide tablets, Prussian blue for removing radioactive cesium and thallium, and the anti-nausea drug ondansetron (Zofran) for $345, requiring a prescription issued through its telehealth service. Nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein called the kit overpriced, noting iodine tablets cost around $13 over the counter and Prussian blue dosing typically requires medical supervision. The company says the kit primarily targets occupationally radiation-exposed workers rather than people preparing for nuclear war.
